Developed for primary school children because studies show that 75% of the brain develops during this time. A research made by the University of Manchester (UK) on 3185 children aged 7 to 11 years old showed that, after an intensive UCMAS program for 34 weeks, 1.5 hours per week, a high increase in the IQ of the children! The brain is considered extremely pliable and responsive to guidance at this time. Their exciting classes and energetic instructors ensure that little learners have fun as they learn!

Their whole-brain development program builds foundational techniques that make learning math, effortless and enjoyable. The brain is triggered from the interaction of the hands’ fingers and the brain. Each finger maps directly to each of the 5 brain sections, with the left and right hands mapping inversely to the 2 brain hemispheres. By mastering these techniques using the Abacus, students develop the ability to think in pictures and quickly learn to perform large calculations mentally. Over time, children come to love a subject they may have once struggled with, or even feared. Attaining astonishing calculation speed is actually the end-result of increasing the “brain-fitness”.

Initially to do calculations using an actual abacus which is in front of them

And then use a virtual/imaginary abacus which is in their mind

UCMAS demands self-discipline and promotes the joy of lifelong learning and self-discovery. UCMAS students become motivated learners – the best route to success in academics and beyond.
What all of us, parents want… if not a child that has high self-esteem and high self-confidence, a child which feel different, that he is better than other children and to see this feeling propagating to the rest of the school lessons, resulting in better performance in all classes?

Join UCMAS program for SMARTER and HAPPIER children and feel the difference!

Lots of sunny days from Izzy the Cypriot lizard!
